- duration: 30 min
- watch: 11th February 2018 at 8 pm UTC
DESCRIPTION: In my performance I will be a ghost driver on a real street digitally reanimated by Google Street View. I will try to stay on that street as long as I can. The Street View situation I am evoking plus me doing the performance (sitting in front of the screen) are both filmed and screened and can be watched parallel as a live video. The performance shall be repeated instantly after ending it. Fact 1: Google Street View as a ghost driver: – You don´t crash – you just slide through a blurry landscape like stop-and-go. You are a ghost that slides through material like cars or road limits. – You don´t leave cars approaching you behind. They are always there and accompanying you. Fact 2: The real person behind the ghost driver: – You try to move as fast as you can: click – slide – click – slide – You are highly concentrated to stay on the street – one wrong click and you find yourself somewhere in the landscape. – Your eyes, your neck and your hand on the mouse are at some point going to hurt immensively. Fact 3: End of the performance, – if you miss the street. – when the Street View representation of that street you are on is over. Fact 4: Possible defects: – Google Street View does not load / internet connection unsteady – human failure
